Okay, I had this problem for a month, and it has immobilized me in diamond, so I'm asking here if anyone can find out what's wrong. See, I can do everything I can at this point in the game, battle, train, level, check maps, go in caves, all that, but when I go in a Gym, everything's fine, when I talk to a gym leader, everything is still fine, but when I press the a or B button which is supposed to start the battle, the entire DS freezes. Every single time I finish listening to a gym leader's speech. Every time. The only thing I can do the is reset. Removing the card does nothing. Nothing else works when in that state. Since I need to beat the gym, and it doesn't let me, I'm stuck. Tried restarting the game. Doesn't work. different starter? Doesn't work. I can do everything else, and thus I have no badges and a Lv.29 Budew. Anyone know what might be the problem?

Dificult to say, maybe it's the wrong file, what I mean is that you will probably have to download another Diamond Game. Better luck next time. :/

Well, where did you buy the game? If you bought it used or something, it might have a glitch in it.

It didn't happen when I bought it. It happened long after. A month or so after.

Maybe the game is corrupted or your DS is in bad shape?

That's why I don't post in D/P forums. My dad will NEVER buy me a new one. EVER. My mom will, but she doesn't have enough money to. Work so hard and wait an entire year this is what turns up. NO way to get a replacement. It's almost like I don't own diamond.

There might be a slight possibility that your diamond version is a fake. Look at your game and if you see Both the Nintendo Logos (the red one and the gold one) and you see the words "The Pokemon Company" above the red Nintendo logo, then it is real, but just in bad shape. If you don't see the logos and the words "The Pokemon Company" are put elsewhere on the cartridge, then you have a fake copy.

The cartridge is real, if what you say is true, and if the gold logo is the nintendo seal of quality. Guess you can't see any damage. But It started occurring mid-game. Best thing to do is keep starting a new game till it works.

Try Saving before every Gym battle and keep trying to battle the Gym Leader. If it keeps freezing, there might be some internal damage inside the cartridge, but maybe calling Nintendo Customer Service might help. That or just ponying up another $34 for a new copy which is easier said than done.
